You have been here long enough to know how this goes. As FNG says, call the CP on duty, simple. All scheduling is going to say is "we are working on it" or "the cancelation team is handling it"

Disagree. There are no serious restraint of trade issues with the Sprontier merger.

Completely agree with this. My worry, though, is that logic won’t matter because we are dealing with an administration that makes nonsensical, knee-jerk decisions all the time. They don’t use facts and logic, they use fairy dust and unicorns to make decisions, and then gaslight the public about it when they get called out.

Know what'll cause higher ticket prices? Out of control inflation. Skyrocketing oil too. Maybe those knuckleheads should keep their eye on the ball and stop playing in the dirt in right field.

These economic illiterates don’t understand that raising ticket prices kills the model because we don’t offer the amenities that the more expensive airlines do. Basically, it’s grandstanding by those who couldn’t be bothered to know or care for those who don’t care that they don’t care.

Not if SAVE-ULCC raise prices in proportion to LCC/Legacy price hikes

Right. They don't have to be cheap, they just have to cost less than the next least expensive option.

I wouldn’t put much stock in any letter written for or against the merger. Most likely the merger will happen because people in high places will be paid to make it happen. That said they aren’t wrong in saying it could make customer service worse, I mean we (and frontier) aren’t exactly known for our customer service, and the fact that we have a lot of overlap isn’t a good thing either, but again pretty sure it will happen as someone will be paid to make it happen.

Yes. That was a given. Everyone’s prices are going up due to inflation, oil and labor shortages, but the ULCC’s raising their prices more than the Legacies to close the gap or bring it close kills their model. I’ll try to be clearer in the future.

Not sure what you are talking about.

Google mergers blocked by the Biden Administration. There's multiple pages of examples. This merger is definitely no guarantee.
